CNN Buries Its Own Poll Results on Trump’s Favorability. Guess Why.
Kyle Smith
National ReviewMay 13, 2020, 9:13 PM EDT
Well, that’s interesting, I thought, as I noted that the RealClearPolitics homepage stated that President Trump was tied for his all-time high in CNN polling. Then I went over to the CNN homepage for confirmation. Guess what I found?
The main story was about a church that lost 44 parishioners to COVID-19. The second-most prominent story told us that “Grocery Prices Are Soaring” (which is true if you think that a 2.6 percent increase in April should be called “soaring”), the third-most-prominent item told us, “Doctors treating coronavirus patients are seeing odd and frightening syndromes.” Running down the rail on the right we were given such important developments as “Man refusing to wear a mask breaks arm of Target employee,” “CNN Investigates: He’s willing to get Covid-19 to speed up vaccine efforts,” “Five surfers die after huge layer of sea foam hampers rescue” and “How coronavirus spread from one member to 87% of the singers at a choir practice.”
Only after all of this stuff did we learn that CNN has a new poll out, under the headline, “CNN Poll: Biden tops Trump nationwide, but battlegrounds tilt Trump.” Polls are expensive, news organizations tend to hype them breathlessly to generate headlines in rival media outlets, Wednesday was (obviously) a slow news day, and politics is one of CNN’s core topics. Yet CNN seemed oddly unenthused about its own poll. And the story to which the homepage linked doesn’t mention that Trump had never scored higher in a CNN poll. True, there are lots of noisy data in the piece, most of which cut against Trump. But on the other hand the single most surprising and hence most newsworthy detail of the poll was that Trump holds a seven-point lead over Biden in the battleground states. The CNN story doesn’t even tell us what that figure is — seven points seems like a pretty big number — and downplays its own finding by noting, “Given the small sample size in that subset of voters, it is difficult to determine with certainty whether the movement is significant or a fluke of random sampling.”https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-buries-own-poll-results-011348264.html

Here's what I don't understand.
1. CNN is a business.
2. It sells ads. It makes more money from ads if it has more viewers.
3. Fox has a lot more viewers than CNN.
4. If I owned CNN I'd make it more conservative so I could make more money. Duh!
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I wonder if they'd say that if Biden was ahead. If they admittedly poll such a small number so the results are meaningless, they why have the poll at all?

CNN International is very popular outside the United States, CNN is seen by millions around the world whether they like it or not, it is on 27/7 in airports and the like. CHH doesn't lose money, and even if they did, it would be a small drop in the AT&T bucket, so they can afford to lose some change while still controlling the minds of the American brain dead voter.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Ever been polled? Who gets polled? I never have. I don't know anyone who has. Always wondered. Might be the reason polls are so seldom right.

The fact that we talk about CNN and post links here regularly tells me that they are accomplishing what they want to. I will never watch their shows. I will never purposefully click on their links. The people who read or watch their crap then whine about them don't see the irony.

Same polls that predicted that Hilldog was beating Trump! Polls are whatever these "noise stations " wish it to be! The proof is in the pudding.
MAGA! This is the way!

They have revenue streams from businesses all over the world. Those germans work together to have things their way.

Don't worry. If they are anything like MSN, the poll will resurface in a couple weeks. And the numbers will look totally different. All around, totally in favor of Uncle Joe...

the questions in the polls are carefully crafted to get a certain response. if Trump showed a 7 point lead in their poll you can bet a fair poll would show him at twice that, or more.
that is one reason to bury it.

Not surprised that CNN would bury polls favoring Trump.....Expect more deceit from CNN until Nov 3rd.....
National polls are meaningless.. Assuming they are honest,,LOL>>LOL,,,it is the battleground individual state polls that favor watching.
